All warning lights came on and the car died (stalled out) on an interstate highway. Car was not drivable. Lost all power. The car had to be towed to the nearest vw dealer (vw of naples, fl). Upon inspection, the dealer noted that the hybrid would run for about 3-minutes and then turn off. Vw determined that the electric drive power and control electronic module (jx1) had failed. It took 12 days to repair, since the power module needed to be shipped from germany.the root cause for the power module (jx1) failure is currently not known. Please investigate further, since this is a safety concern.

The car developed some hesitancy when shifting from electric to gas. The dealer said it wasn't "throwing codes" so it was fine. Two days later i was making a uturn on a 40 mph street and the drive died - engine/motor working, no forward motion, with cars coming at me. I was able to drift into a parking lot. The dealership replaced the mechatronic (the same problem they had a recall for other vin, not mine.) one year later, i was driving out of a neighborhood street from a stop sign, and when i took my foot off of the gas it drifted backwards, which it normally will not do. When i put my foot on the gas - no forward motion. There was no one behind me, so i tried putting it in park then drive - no joy. Then i turned the car all of the way off, waited three minutes, then turned it back on - it worked. I drove it straight to the dealership. "it's not throwing any codes." they have had it for two weeks and can't reproduce the problem, and meanwhile i have no car. They say the car is "operating as designed," and i think that's the problem. "as designed" means "with risk of catastrophic failure at any given moment." i contacted vw usa - they assigned me a customer care rep. They can't do anything except interface with the service people at the dealership. I addressed the design and safety issue with the customer care rep, and they said they rely on the service depts at the dealerships. I'm concerned that no one is looking at the big picture here. This car is not safe, and the main reason this hasn't become a big issue is because not many of them were sold. They stopped making them after two years - wise decision.
The contact owns a 2014 volkswagen jetta hybrid. The contact stated while driving 40-45 mph, the transmission warning light illuminated, and the vehicle began to stall. The contact veered to the side of the roadway and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred that same day while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the mechatronic was leaking out of the front seal causing loss of pressure build-up, and the transmission failure. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 19v866000 (power train) because the vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 107,000.
The braking ability varies depending if the battery is being charged or not.the pressure applied to the brake pedal depends on the battery charge and not the pressure on the pedal.engine fails to engage on a steep slope causing the vehicle to roll backwards.this happens frequently when the engine is cold.the engine will not warm up to operating temperature if the hybrid motor is engaged
Before 60,000 miles car began to buck when accelerating and decelerating,by the time i brought it in for service it was 240 miles over warranty so they would not repair it. I was told clutch 1 and 2 reached there tolerance levels. When it first started happening, it did not appear to be anything, no indicator lights or warnings appeared on dash. It did not happen all the time and did not occur when maintaining speed.
